She Put A Hit On You
I walk into a fast-food restaurant. There are two cashiers at the registers, a big open space on this side, and then two ladies, both standing well back from the counter over by the pick-up area. I head up to one of the open registers. As I approach, one of the ladies suddenly calls out.
Lady: “We were here first!”
I glance over and then just nod.
Me: “Okay.”
I then turn back and finish walking up to the register.
Worker: “Hi. What can I get for you?”
Me: “I’d like to get—”
A hand clamps down on my shoulder and tries to turn me around.
Lady: “You aren’t—”
Without looking at her, I slap her hand off my shoulder, hard. She shrieks and takes a few steps back, before she starts to shout.
Lady: “YOU HIT ME! HE HIT ME!”
The cashier in front of me looks rather uncomfortable, while the other cashier just looks annoyed.
Me: “I’d like [combo].”
The cashier types it in and takes my money, all while this lady is still standing there, screeching, “HE HIT ME!” I get my receipt, go fill up my cup, and then go back up when my order is called to see the lady still standing there yelling, at a manager now, while the other lady hasn’t moved from where they were originally standing.
Lady: “HE’S THE ONE! HE HIT ME! KICK HIM OUT!”
The manager didn’t do anything as I collected my food. I went to sit down and eat it. I didn’t hurry, but I didn’t take too long, either. When I finished, the lady was still there shouting at an entirely different worker as I walked out the door.
